Howdy, any latex printer users out there?, is it best to always remove the vinyl rolls from the printer after printing? I am having constant head crashes on my first print after not printing for a few days. Seems to be caused by the curl of the vinyl through the machine, causing the vinyl to lift up.

I normally don't use the hold down magnets, because I've had it hit one of those and pop it up when the vinyl curled and I'd rather crash into vinyl.

Just curious if anyone knows a good way to get it to quit, the media I use, which mostly causes my issues, is HP permanent gloss vinyl roll sizes 42 and 60 inch.

I usually print smallish decals and race stuff, it's just really annoying, other than that, My latex 260 works awesome. just like wrecking a foot of vinyl quite regularly.

I've had mine 68 inch/ 172.72 cm for over a year and it seems to be a great device, I've recently started looking for a smaller decal printer, as my large format Latex 260/ DesignJet 26500 is sometimes just a little to0 large to print a custom 2 laptop sticker for myself, unless I've got a ton of decals to print/contour cut.

I'm looking for something that looks fantastic up close for print quality, as latex is a little dotty, and thats not 5 foot wide, maybe 24-48in/ 60-120cm, any recommendations from the community?
